BALANCED FUND
The fund seeks to generate maximum total return by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities offering current income and long-term capital growth. We aim to maximize returns by compounding gains at a meaningful annual rate and minimizing volatility by diversifying asset classes and geographies. We tend to be concentrated by having no more than 12 to 15 positions within our core themes.
Our Investment team looks for simple, predictable, cash generative businesses run by ‘outsider’ managers with skin in the game. We believe that a differentiated portfolio will offer differentiated returns and actively seek exposure outside of the more popular names and outside of the common themes to realistically offer our investors a chance at true outperformance.
*We recommend a minimum investment period of 3 years for your capital to experience optimal return impact.
